I&#39;ll go back and read the ones you wrote just after retiring, as that&#39;s where I am now. About becoming more descriptive: Do you read Stephen King? I ask because many of my friends are afraid to read him. The man is not one of the world&#39;s best-selling authors by accident. Part of what makes Stephen King so compelling is that he begins his books with detailed descriptions of ordinary life. The worlds he creates, especially in the books that have a first-person narrator, are so vivid that I, as the reader, come to completely accept them as real. Then, when the strange things begin happening, I have to accept them as real, too. I often find myself thinking in that narrator&#39;s voice. Powerful prose! Less scary trial read: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.
